Lesson 30: John 7:25-31
John 7:25-31
Then said some of them
of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill? But, lo, he speaketh
boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is
the very Christ? Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh,
no man knoweth whence he is. Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught,
saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself,
but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not. But I know him: for I am from
him, and he hath sent me. Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on
him, because his hour was not yet come. And many of the people believed on him,
and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this
man hath done?
Background Information
The idea that they would
not know where Christ came from appears to have been a Jewish theological
tradition.
